PUT=IN=BAY 



/~\N the morning of September roth, 1813, a fleet of United 
^-^ States war-ships was riding at anchor in Put-in-Bay. 
Standing on Gibraltar, at the entrance of the Bay, which 
is now 1 rowned by the spacious stone mansion of Jay Cooke, Esq., 
the youthful Commodore Perry swept the horizon in the north- 
ward with his glass and espied the approach of the British fleet. 
Shortly afterwards, he sailed with his fleet out of Putin-Bay, 
returning to the Bay in the evening with his own and n ith the 
vanquished fleet. Commodore Perry sent to General Harrison 
his immortal dispatch: "We have met the enemy and they are 
ours." 

Putin-Bay Island is the largest and must attractive of the 
famous and picturesque group of islands in Lake Erie, and is 
the MOST POPULAR SUMMER RESORT IN THE WEST. Its mag- 
nificent scenery, absolutely oure air and water, bracing atmos 
phere, entire abseni e of dews, superb boating, bathing and fish- 
ing have made it popular throughout the West and South for 
years. It is 65 miles west from Cleveland, do miles southeast 
from Detroit, 40 miles northeast from Toledo, and 22 miles north 
from Sandusky. There is an electric railway, many handsome 
summer cottages, magnificent bathing beaches, with ample bath 
houses, toboggan slides, etc. Witnin a radius of about five 
mdes are about twent) other islands, many having club houses, 
cottages and pleasure resorts. 



Travelers, either by steamers or railway, to the east, wot ,, r 
north, will find it to their interest, in mam ways, to top al 
Put-in-Bay Island, Ohio, midwaj between New y"ork and < hi 
cago— long enough, at least, to get acquainted with the place 
its geological wonders, its wines, its world's famous hotel and 
charming environments. 

The three-quarter million dollar Hotel "VICTORY" is in it- 
self a magnet that attracts many, who find nowhere else h.-i the 
environments of convenience, comfort, courtesy, homelike sur- 
roundings and good fond, superadded p. the bracing air. lovely 
pro pects, woodland rambles, and opportunities foi bathing 
yachting, fishing, etc., unlimited and unrivaled that they find 
here; or society anywhere more agreeable or refined It is 
indeed, a matter of general .email, that 111 spile ,,l all (hat is 
furnished, the wave of high prices has not yet reached 
Put-in- Bay. 

An illustrated souvenir booklet, rale book and other printed

of the hotel company, and was known to possess some 
medicinal qualities, but not until a recent examination

powers this pure, sparkling water contained 
ppended analysis, when given to the public, 
was a complete surprise and astoundment to some of 
tlie most noted and learned physicians of the country.

m the world does there another well exist containing so 
Jarge a percentage of "Strontium Sulphate" a- is found 
in the water of The Victory Strontia Spa
